The anomaly is located at a depth of approximately 85 meters between Sweden and Finland.
Discovery[edit | edit source]
The anomaly was discovered using sonar technology during a treasure hunt for shipwrecks. The team, led by Peter Lindberg and Dennis Åsberg, initially thought they had found a sunken ship or a natural geological formation. The sonar images showed a large, circular object with a diameter of approximately 60 meters, resembling a disc or a mushroom.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Baltic Sea anomaly has been described as having a distinct, unusual shape that some have compared to the Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars franchise. The object appears to have a staircase-like structure leading to a dark hole. The anomaly is surrounded by a trail of disturbed sediment, suggesting it may have moved or been moved.
Theories[edit | edit source]
Several theories have been proposed to explain the nature of the Baltic Sea anomaly:
- Natural Geological Formation: Some scientists believe the anomaly is a natural rock formation, possibly a glacial deposit left behind during the last Ice Age.
- Man-Made Structure: Others speculate that it could be the remains of an ancient man-made structure, such as a sunken ship or a World War II-era anti-submarine device.
- Extraterrestrial Object: A more controversial theory suggests that the anomaly could be a crashed UFO or an extraterrestrial artifact.
Investigations[edit | edit source]
Since its discovery, the Baltic Sea anomaly has been the subject of various investigations. Ocean X has conducted several dives to the site, collecting samples and capturing images. However, the exact nature of the anomaly remains undetermined due to the challenging conditions of the Baltic Sea, including poor visibility and the presence of a thick layer of sediment.
Criticism and Skepticism[edit | edit source]
The scientific community has largely been skeptical of the more sensational theories surrounding the Baltic Sea anomaly. Many experts argue that the sonar images are not sufficient to draw definitive conclusions and that more rigorous scientific analysis is needed.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The Baltic Sea anomaly has captured the public's imagination and has been featured in various media outlets, documentaries, and television shows. It has also sparked numerous discussions and debates among enthusiasts of marine archaeology, geology, and ufology.
